Dedicated models
FLUX STUDIO
>>>
FLUX STUDIO is a software package based on FLUX and consisting of a project manager allowing to parameterise
(vary any parameter), solve and postprocess already defined models. All its features (dedicated online help, complete database of models, one click parameterisation) make FLUX STUDIO the ideal tool for: Transferring the competencies to non FE-specialists, Delivering consulting results through an interactive model, Teaching and demonstrating the influence of parameters...
Part of a switch gear: Geometry and flux density. Parameterised model in FLUX STUDIO.
State of the art simulation software for Non Destructive Evaluation >>>
CIVAnde is a unique solution to simulate, postprocess (imaging and analysis) and compare virtually any type of ultrasonic and eddy current non destructive evaluation (NDE) device or process. Due to the method used and its high level of integration, CIVAndes simulations are intrinsically fast. Totally dedicated to NDE simulation, CIVAnde features many tools and models to speed the analysis up: Predefined transducers including phased array features, Parameterised geometries, CAD coupling capabilities, Materials database, Built-in post-processing tools Those numerous tools make CIVAnde easy-to-use even for non-NDE experts.
Ultrasonic NDE: Immersed phased array over an irregularly shaped piece, with adapted delay laws. Eddy current NDE: Impedance change due to a crack.

MOTOR-CAD - SPEED
, Thermal
Optimisation of Motors
>>>
specifically designed to simplify the complexity of thermal analysis. The thermal models of MOTOR-CAD are based on lumped-circuit analysis providing instantaneous results. Both permanent and transient thermal behaviour (duty-cycle) can be analysed. A valuable graphical feedback (geometry, schematic diagram, graphs), associated with numerous sophisticated cooling methods (spiral grooves, liquid cooling, through ventilation...) makes MOTOR-CAD a comprehensive and powerful tool to analyse the thermal behaviour of motors and speed up size reduction processes.

the geometry, the winding scheme as well as the drive and control to get characteristic quantities such as torque, speed, phase current and voltages, losses Thanks to a complete library (type of motor, slots and bars, winding scheme, drive), a full motor can be quickly and easily sized by setting the different parameters in the templates.
Tiled window including outline, template and winding editors, as well as simulation graphs.
SPEED and MOTOR-CAD are the ideal complements to FLUX to determine the general geometry, winding
scheme and drive of a motor, as well as its electromagnetic and thermal behaviour.

ATILA
>>>
ATILA is one of the most versatile programs for modelling ATILA is a very efficient design tool for all types of active
materials applications: Strong electrical/mechanical and fluid/structure couplings, Lossy materials: very accurate and realistic values of maximum displacement, stress, and electrical impedance, Multiple excitations at the same time (electrical, magnetic, mechanical and acoustic excitations), Anisotropic properties of materials, Resonance and antiresonance simultaneous analysis...
The ATILA software used for piezoelectric and magnetostrictive structures has become the reference tool in the development of actuators, motors, transducers and sensors based on smart materials.
>>>
Thanks to the experience we have gained through our consulting work and software development, CEDRAT Group and its distributors can provide you with a high level of technical support and training: use of the programs, adapted methodology, limits of the models validity, magnetism for electrical engineering, active materials and actuators.
